Drain scores a 60% (I gave her half credit on a couple):

The next person:  
Male **Yep**  
No kids **Correct)**  
E, A, T **You got it**  
Engineer of some sort **You’re on a roll**  
From New York **Whoops. Arizona.**  
Married **Nope. Single.**  
One dog **Close. One cat.**  
Medium-brown hair, greying at temples **I’d call it medium-brown. No greying at the temples yet.**  
brown eyes **Very much so**  
Can beat anyone he knows at Trivial Pursuit. **I gave you half on this one too. I can beat almost anyone I know at trivial pursuit. I do have a few smart friends with whom I’m evenly matched. 😉 I would have described my distinguishing personality trait as being "artsy-fartsy."**

Pretty impressive, Drain, IMO.

No offense, DynoSaur, but you failed miserably in describing me. (You got every one wrong except 6)

On the other hand, if you know anyone fitting this description, please let me know! I’d really like to have sex with…I mean, _date_ her.

Ahem, Michi! What is this?! 😕 You think I’m actually pathetic enough to follow you around the boards?? :eek:

Well, actually, you’re right. 🙂

But I got here late. You’ve got to post around 6 or 7 pm my time, at the earliest, to meet me on the boards. 😉

Incidentally, you’re wrong about 4 (I work in the legal field, though it’s true I use a computer) and 7 (cat).

Anyway, my guess:

1. female
2. one kid
3. have a E or R in her name
4. work with computers
5. Continental Europe
6. married
7. no pets
8. brown hair
9. brown eyes
10. shameless attention 'ho  
[sub]that last ought to ensure that I kill this thread :)[/sub]

I’d follow you anywhere, honey! 😃

Yeah, you were too early for me, by a couple of hours, though.

As for me, I was guessing that one of the Europeans/Nightowls (Twist of Fate, Evilbeth, Tatertot or Coldfire) would be one of the next posters, given the time I posted.
